[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 226013, member: 3959"] I totally disagree, and here is why. What strips easier, a 6 point, or a 12 point? I was taught very early in my wrenching career that the less "points" of contact you have, the less chance of stripping, and it has proven true in my experience. So what is a normal bolt? 6 points. Whats less? Nothing thats in our regular vocabulary of bolts. No 5 points that I recall, some 4 points (square) but they're not used in any mechanical devices that I know of, maybe some roofing nails (and why is that?)... Whats left? 3 point triangles? I've never seen one. And what is a 2 point? A flat bladed screw-driver, right? IMO, if we really wanted the toughest bolt to strip, it would be a 3 point triangle. But we dont see them, I wonder why? $$$ Torx suck, and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. [/QUOTE]
